Using all these sources and your own knowledge assess the view that he new poor law was resisted far more successfully in the north than the south from 1834 to 1847. Looking at the sources individually you cant see whether or not the north was resisted the changes better than the people in the south. But when you look at the resistance in the north described in source C and D it seems to be more intense with more organisation to it too. Causing a greater effect than the fairly mild opposition in the south. Sorces A and B makes the reistance to the new poor law seem quite mild. Source A states that the opposition only occured in some areas ' where a reliance on the poor rate was habitual'. However it does say that within these areas 'every method has been used to obstruct the law' But these sources dont say whether there was serious violence carried out in the south despite the ritos that were 'partial' and 'put down' easily. Source B convays the image that the resistant was only centralised in one county, north Devon. It makes the opposition in source B less edffective that in source A saying that leaders of the opposition had deciebed the poor workers and given them false information about the poor law gaurdians e.g. 'bread was poisoned to kill paupers'. Many of the leaders of the opposition hated the changes as they were the ones who abused the previous system for their gain. The speenhamland system allowed many people to abuse it as employers would pay their workers very poor wages with the knowledge that the system would make up the rest. In comparison with sourses C and D the opposition in the south seems rather minor as it was dealt with so easily. But the provanence does come in to effect as it shows whether we should trust theses sources. The provenance of these sources does give some reason for unreliability. source B could be seen as being unreliable as the evidence is only situated within one area in the sourth, north devon.

...The NewPoorLaw what were the Aims and Motivations
This essay is looking to explain the aims of and the motivations behind the 1834 PoorLaw Amendment Act, also the links to the Emancipation Act, Malthusian and Benthamite influence on the Act. The outcome on history will not change but just maybe a clearer understanding of the reasoning behind the changes.
The first thing to look at is the amended Act itself presented by Nassau Senior and Edwin Chadwick the report took the view that people were poor and needy by either idleness or ignorance not by socioeconomic conditions, Outdoor relief for the able-bodied was to be abolished, this meant the only means of financial support for a family was to present themselves at the workhouse knowing it meant your family would be separated from each other and living in total squalor. The Bastardy clause meant that the mother had the right to relief for her child through the workhouse supposedly for them to make the father pay, this was an attempt at legal control of moral issues. The Parishes were grouped together into unions and workhouses to be established in each union, for example Cramlington was part of the Tynemouth union which went from Blyth to North Shields and Cramlington to Benton including everything in-between. The conditions in workhouses were to be made harsher than that of the lowest paid. This was the concept of ‘less...

...in law had upon them.
In this analysis, I wish to determine the primary motive of Friedrich Engels in writing The Condition of the Working Class in England. It is interesting to note that this work was not published in its subject country for almost three decades after it was written and it was first published in Engels’ native Germany.
England at the time was the world’s preeminent capitalist power at the height of the burgeoning Industrial Revolution. Was Engels intention a warning to the German people about the apparent evils of Capitalism? It would not be difficult to assume that his opposition to the NewPoorLaw stemmed from his anti-capitalist politics. In foresight, it is safe to speculate what Engels believed the NewPoorLaw to be; an instrumental policy keeping close to the interests of the bourgeoisie who sought to teach the poor the value of industry and the virtues of an obedient working-life. The social condition of England was therefore ripe for Engels’ documentation, spurred on by the prospect of social revolution in England after reading Die europaische Triarchie by Moses Hess Engels seized the opportunity to further his political ends in England.
A brief historiography of both the Old and NewPoor Law’s is appropriate in order to provide some background context to the focus of the document.

...Was the NewPoorLaw successful?
There were many advantages of the NewPoorLaw, including a decrease in cost of poor relief, Education for children who lived within poor families and more able-bodied poor people working for their money.
The Decrease in cost of poor relief meant that less people were willing to claim poor relief, as it was a lot less glamorous than it used to be. Less money was spent on the quality of food and housing within the workhouses, which meant that people held it in dread and didn't want to have to go there. The diet within the workhouses was worse than anything that was available outside, and the work was very demanding and challenging, with many people often sustaining injuries due to such laborious tasks. This all put people off the idea of wanting to go to the workhouses, and made them try hard to find jobs, and work as well as possible to get the amount of money needed to sustain a family.
The moral of the poor became much better as well. People were swiftly becoming good workers and were more willing to behave better. This meant they wouldn't spend the night drinking in taverns, blowing their cash which was desperately needed for food (especially when the corn prices rose).
For people who did have to enter the workhouses, there were still some advantages. They...

...﻿Following promulgation of the Kenya Constitution 2010, Land Law in Kenya was reviewed, repealed and new legislation enacted. Does the new Legislation on land Law adequately address all the shortcomings that were inherent in the old law regime?
Kenyan Land system was governed by a number of laws that were complex and with many shortcomings. Some of this shortcomings included lack of distinction in ownership between citizens and non-citizens, long leases of 999 years, inadequate protection of matrimonial and spousal rights, different and confusing registration regimes, and complex transfer processes among others. Subsequent to the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, a number of Land Acts were repealed and replaced with 3 operative Acts of Parliament.
The Repealed Acts
The following Acts have been repealed:
The Indian Transfer of Property Act, 1882
The Government Lands Act
The Registration of Titles Act
The Land Titles Act
The Registered Land Act
The Way leaves Act; and
The Land Acquisition Act
Chapter 5 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 gave effect to a radically different land regime in Kenya. Article 68 specifically gave Parliament scope to:
Art 68. Parliament shall— (a) revise, consolidate and rationalise existing land laws;
(b) revise sectoral land use laws in accordance with the principles set out in Article 60 (1); and

...Explain why the NewPoorLaw Amendment Act (1834) was so controversial.
There were many arguments raised about the poorlaw amendment act of 1834, this Act was thought to be the most contentious piece of legislation passed during the era of the Whig's. At the time, it was a lot about saving money, the upper class did not want to pay towards the poorlaw, as they believed they were lazy and unworthy. The taxpayers, and ratepayers believed it to be wrong they should be paying to help the poor. The workhouse system was one of the most inhumane of all time, humiliating and demeaning all the poor people that entered it. When families' entered the workhouse, the husband, wife, and children would be separated from each other, allowing the mother very little contact with her children. The men would be dressed in a uniform, for all to know he was destitute, and in the hope, it would bring shame to him and his family. The workhouses were such a dreadful and appalling place, people would try all ways to survive rather than enter one of these places. These places were opened for one reason, not to help the poor, but to help the rich to stay rich. The parish council helped the poor in many ways, but the newpoorlaw had taken away the help they received from them. The speenhamland...

...Elizabethan PoorLaws and the Unworthy Poor
Tara McFadden
Indiana University School of Social Work
Abstract
Beginning in the Elizabethan Era, unworthy poor was a label placed on able bodied people that appeared to choose to not work. They were often treated harshly and in extreme cases, put to death (Shelly, 2011). In today’s society such treatment would be unheard of. The act of even labeling this group of people or other groups is discouraged and even against the NASW’s The Code of Ethics (2008). When faced with the multi billion dollar price tag of welfare, we need to make a distinction of who is worthy or unworthy to receive government assistance. The question arises on how this can be done without impeding the rights of the poor.
Elizabethan Laws and the Unworthy Poor
Over Four hundred years ago the citizens of England developed one of the first versions of our modern social welfare system. During this time, the poor were labeled as either worthy or unworthy. Elderly, widows, orphans and disabled were considered worthy poor, while unworthy poor included those that physically could work, but chose not to do so. They were often severely punished for their refusal to follow the expected social norms. (Shelly, 2011).
The label of worthy and unworthy poor and controversy over welfare abuse is alive and...

...﻿TASK 1
Explain the reference to legal principle and relevant case law, the legal aspect of placing the ‘Klick’ clock in the shop window with a price tag attached.
Ann antiques has a rare ‘Klick’ clock on its shop with price tags of €1,000 attached. In spite of its wording the sign in the window does not constitute a legal offer, it is merely an invitation to treat. Invitation to treat is an indication that the person who invite is willing to enter into a negotiation but it is not yet prepared to be bound. This case may be seen in Fisher v Bell (1961). It was held that having switch-blade knives in the window of a shop was not the same as offering them for sale.
TASK 2
Analyze the reference to legal principle and relevant because law, the legal effect of the event that transpired between Ann and Beth ignoring the conversation that took place between Carol and Beth and advice as to whether the valid contract exist between them.
The original invitation to treat at €1,000 was met by an offer from Beth which offers €500 on the ‘Klick’ clock. After Ann received an offer from Beth, Ann made a counter offer on the clock that she would sell €750 for it. It is up to Beth to decide whether to accept the offer or not. A counter offer arises when the offeree tries to change the terms of an original offer.
For example, the Hyde v Wrench (1940) case. In that case, on 6th June, Wrench offered to sell his estate to Hyde for £1,000 but...

...Aim:
To determine the relationship between the length of eureka wire, and resistivity of the wire.
Hypothesis:
As the length of the wire increases, the resistance of the wire will increase.
Background:
Some materials have consistent resistance at the same temperature regardless of how much voltage is applied through them, these materials are known as ‘Ohmic’ resistors. This is because they are said to obey Ohm’s law, which states that if a voltmetre is used to measure the voltage (V) of an unknown resistance (R), and an ammetre is used to measure the current (i) through the same unknown resistance, then ‘R’ would be given by R = V/i . The eureka wire used in this experiment is an ohmic resistor, so theoretically it can be used to measure the relationship between its length and resistance without other variables affecting it.
Equipment:
1. 1 metre length of eureka wire
2. Power supply unit
3. 1 Voltmetre
4. 1 Ammetre
5. 1 Rheostat
6. Connecting wires
Procedure:
1. Measure and cut 1 metre of wire
2. Set up the electrical circuit as in the diagram
3. Set the rheostat at its furthest point on one end.
4. Connect the wire into the circuit at 10cm length
5. Turn the power supply on, and record the voltage and amp readings. Turn the power supply off immediately after to prevent temperature build up in the circuit.
6. Repeat step 5 twice,...
